I think that I'll like the keyboard. But I'm spoiled with the Torch screen size...

That's daddy's new toy...
Keep rejecting my operators renewal offer cause I want this one.
They keep saying "No new BB coming"and I tell em to visit here. That shuts em up :)
Love the whole "9000 look" This is what I like about RIM, good design and specs that matter. No unwanted or unnecessary stuff you never use or use once. I do think that's what some people don't like, but hey, how many times did the iPhone got a real make over? OS looks smooth, but similar to the OS6 with a few tweaks. Can't wait for the real deal and see how it runs etc. Me likes what me sees!

I'm having a hard time deciding to get this or the 9850 when it comes out.

I'd like to get the Curve touch. It looks MUCH better than this. The 9900 looks like an oversized Bold 9000, albeit thinner. Plus, the touchscreen is way too small to do anything, in my opinion. I just hope that the curve will have the same processor and memory that this phone has.

I think they need to have the Bold and Curve to be different, why have 2 simmilar phones with just a different body?
I still think the Bold is the most sexy BB out there, but I do like the Curves curves ;) Maybe a bit of all 3 including the nice silver metalbody of the Torch 2.
@ Joe; 9850? New Torch? Not that different from the 1 isn't it?

The 9850 is what people are calling the new Storm. The new Torch 2 will be the 9810 But I may go for the Bold 9930 because of the touchscreen. Touchscreen allows for a better browsing experience.
